Dantae Gilmore sworn into UA AFROTC

2017 Sep 28

University of Alabama undergraduate student Dantae Gilmore has been contracted into UA's Air Force ROTC detachment.

Gilmore and 19 other UA students were sworn into AFROTC on Sept. 21 at "Bama Salute," a UA Athletics-sponsored event that honors active duty military members and veterans at various UA sporting events throughout the year.

The UA cadets were sworn in at a UA soccer game in front of nearly 700 people, an unusual but celebrated venue and audience, as contracting ceremonies are typically low-key, with family and other cadets and ROTC cadre present.
